I'm trying to install InkScape on Ubuntu 19.04 from Discover (KDE plasma store), but it shows error:

Dependencies resolution failed

I tried installing it from PPA

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:inkscape.dev/stable
sudo apt install inkscape -y

but it still shows dependencies unmet. This package or dependency is unmet.

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
inkscape : Depends: libpoppler82 (>= 0.71.0) but it is not installable
            Recommends: python-uniconvertor but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

How to install it, I can't find any solution. Any help will be appreciated.

  • Thank you!! It worked! I was trying to install this from morning but every solution said to add that ppa and it only wasted my time. Thank you again. You're life saver.

Both the disco repositories and the ppa currently provide version 0.92.4.
So you don't need the ppa, remove it:

sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:inkscape.dev/stable

then update your repositories:

sudo apt update

and to fix some potential dependency issues (might not be needed, but it's always safe to run):

sudo apt install -f

then install inkscape:

sudo apt install inkscape

  • In Ubuntu 22.04 I had to use the PPA to get it working.
